7 tiny home floor plans with darling compact kitchens

The kitchen is the heart of the home - the one room you'll spend time in, guaranteed, every day. Whether you're a whizz in the kitchen or a novice, you'll still be stocking those shelves and whipping up dishes to sustain and nourish yourself and your family (even if those dishes are cereal).
With some clever design, you don't have to compromise on your kitchen by going tiny. Storage is key. Minimize your kitchen equipment to multi-use items that you know you'll use again and again. Stick with a design scheme that flows from the rest of the house, to keep everything compact, functional and beautiful.
